how many peppermint shrimp would you add to a 29 biocube to control aptasia?

I would add two. I have two in my jbj45 and one hangs out on one side and the other hangs on the other side.

Make sure you get the right species of peppermint shrimp - the ones from Florida (TB Saltwater or KP Aquatics) seem to be the ones that control Aptasia but other shrimp sold as peppermint shrimp don't always work. I got live rock from TBS that had aptasia and the peppermint shrimp that I got from them took care of it very quickly.

I don't wanna think about this question. La la la la la la...
